  1. Sorry Paul, wasn't around when you posted. As Harry said, if you have that shape fuel tank then you've got carbs. it's a slightly later white frame bike as it's got conventional clutch slave (which is a "plus" really) but it's got the lovely underslung rear caliper and the early (confirming original type) circular tank breather instead of rectangular. They do start to come down in price in UK now but still won't crop up often at this price depending on how Br*x*t effects us.
     
  2. Hi Chris
    Thanks for the info, you and Harry are a help, as you know white one's i like and this one fitted the bill and i liked the wheels :) but just to far.
     
  3. I understand Paul, i've bought blind by hiring a bike transporter many times and got away with it but there is a risk for sure. It's certainly got a bit of "form" looking at the side fairings but could be nothing to worry about and the rest of the bike certainly doesn't look beaten up in the same way, some crankcase corrosion blah blah. :):upyeah:

    Nice one T :upyeah:
     
  12. Thanks Chris, i can't believe its mine, i have been waiting a long time to find the right one with my limited spend. A real lovely Scot to deal with, happy days. Looks like a thorough strip and rebuild so i will have to take my time, but hey that's the joy of owning any older bike.

  14. Thanks Harry all made a pleasure dealing with a genuine fellow Scot, top man.
     
  15. I must say that if I had the time and money I'd have been very tempted, it looks like a really good base, looking forward to the refurb thread
